I am honored to introduce readers to this extraordinary volume, the
first in the annual International Perspectives Series: Psychiatry,
Psychology, and Neurosciences. This particular volume on the Recent
Advances In Schizophrenia stems from the Third Annual Pennsylvania
Conference on Schizophrenia, held in March, 1988. At that
international meeting, some of the most esteemed researchers in the
field surveyed our current under standing of schizophrenia.
Collectively, their presentations capture the excitement of a
research field launching into a stage of rapid worldwide
advancement. The last decade has seen an enormous refocusing of
scientific effort on schizophrenia, directed, in large measure, by
the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Our understanding
of this mysterious, disabling disorder in all its diversity has
been enhanced by a host of technologies, including new neuroimaging
techniques, cognitive psychology, molecular genetics, and
anatomical, biochemical, and molecular neuropathology. The
resulting growth spurt in our knowledge constitutes the essence of
the conference and of this volume. As the following pages amply
docu ment, it has been a decade of great progress, one in which we
can take great pride. The science of our field has matured to the
point that a major research thrust is now feasible-one likely to
have enormous benefits for schizophrenic patients and their
families. It is a very exciting time to be in this field and to
participate in accelerating its advances."
